 GOVERNOR ENO: A BEACON OF HOPE AND UNITY FOR A'IBOM It never occurred to many, even the best political pundits, that a man who was not in the political organogram or permutations could navigate the state’s administrative affairs so adeptly. Identified through keen attitudinal evaluation, repeated unpretentious shows of sincerity, vigor, truth, and humility, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, embodies these virtues.

Media writers painted various pictures of him, emphasizing his words, addresses, public responses, and opinions, all authored with a subtle air of humility, meekness, and brotherhood. Poised for the unity of his fa...
